tabagotchi README

(ᵔᴥᵔ) <- This is your Tabagotchi, take care of it, it gets annoyed when you have too many tabs open.

This extension prevents you from opening too many tabs in your workspace.
When you are dealing with compexe issues you tend to try to do multiple things at a time, or you struggle to understand a behaviour, You end up having all the files of your project open.
This is when you need a five minute break.

Think of the equivalent situation when you have 15 tabs open in your browser, 3 of them are the same stack overflow issue and you are lost between documentation and github issues, that is the moment when you need to clean your environment. This extension was inspired by tabagotchi a chrome extension that I strongly recommend.

When you reach the threshold the tabagotchi starts to dance.

At launch, the extensions tracks your open tabs by switching on each of them. I am waiting for this VSCode issue to be solved.
